Billyonaire:
It is safe to say, that each time Amaechi opens his mouth, APC loses at least one fan.

So, PDP has been rigging elections and you didnt inform INEC and the Nigerian populace. If Amaechi is educated, he will know that silence is consent. And with that, he is accomplice to the crime.

The truth still remains, that 90% of the posters above me, agrees that Amaechi talks too much, and most of the times, what he is talking is absolute nonsense.

Sometimes, I feel that Amaechi despite all the billions in his account, has got no class, no taste. And we do not need these kind of people in the leadership of a growing democracy. I see no loyalty in him, even to Buhari.

A fact the average APC supporter does not understand.

dont mind the liars..the mod should do the needful and remove this junk.just like the way he rushed to remove the sound state tribunal news

They will flee this thread like flies now

To all APC rats please say this prayer daily. Your lies will never take you anywhere in this country.



1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.

4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

Ihedioha shuns Tambuwal’s suit as court re-affirms order


Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Emeka Ihedioha, on Friday shunned the proceedings of the Federal High Court in Abuja, during a hearing in the suit filed by the Speaker, Mr. Aminu Tambuwal, to stop any moves aimed at removing him from office.
The court had on November 3, ordered Ihedioha and other defendants in the suit to appear in court on Friday.
Justice Ahmed Mohammed asked the parties to appear on Friday to show cause why the court should not grant the prayer of the plaintiffs seeking an order of interim injunction to restrain the defendants from taking any step to remove Tambuwal from office.
Apart from Ihedioha, other defendants were represented by their lawyers in court in response to the court’s order to show cause.
But the judge confirmed that Ihedioha was absent from court despite having been served with all the court processes including a copy of the “order to show cause.”
The other defendants in the suit are the PDP, its National Chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, the House of Representatives, Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Suleiman Abba; the Independent National Electoral Commission and Attorney-General of the Federation, Mr. Mohammed Adoke.

But Justice Mohammed at the Friday’s proceedings affirmed his earlier order directing parties to maintain status quo by refraining from taking any step capable of destroying the subject matter in the suit.

The judge however, declined to make any order restoring Tambuwal’s security details, who were withdrawn by police authorities and the Department of State Services, upon his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress.

The court rather than restore Tambuwal’s security detatials, granted accelerated hearing in the suit in order to determine the case expeditiously.

Tambuwal, whose travails started upon his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress, had in his suit filed on October 31, accused Ihedioha of being part of those plotting for his removal from office.

The Speaker, who was personally present in court on Friday, was accompanied by the National Deputy Chairman of the APC (South), Mr. Segun Oni, and the National Vice Chairman of the party (North-West) Mr. Inua Abdukadri.
Both Oni and Abdukadri were in court to represent the APC, which is the second plaintiff in the suit.
The court adjourned till November 17 for hearing the substantive suit along with the preliminary objections filed in the suit.

Mu`azu, gains respite as suit challenging his PDP chairmanship withdrawn -


Abuja – Two suites seeking the removal of Alhaji Adamu Mu`azu as National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) were on Thursday withdrawn.
This was disclosed by the legal counsel to the two aggrieved members of the party, Mr Elochukwu Nweke, at a news conference in Abuja.
The aggrieved members, Mr Emmanuel Onu and Mr Ezionye Ndubuisi, in separate suits in September and October filed legal action at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
They were seeking the removal of Mu’azu as PDP’s national chairman in their suits, which had INEC and PDP as interested parties.
The plaintiffs faulted the process that produced Mu’azu as chairman of the party, saying it was not known to the party’s constitution.
Mu’azu, it would be recalled, emerged chairman of PDP in February through the ratification of the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party.
This followed the resignation of Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, the party`s immediate past national chairman.
Confirming the development, Nweke told newsmen at the national headquarters of the PDP that: “We wish to officially announce that we have withdrawn the suit seeking to remove the PDP national chairman from office.”
He stated that the decision of his clients to withdraw the suit was in “the best overriding interest of the party and in view of fresh evidence, letter and documentation from INEC”.
This, he said, confirmed the validity of the appointment of Mu’azu as acting PDP national chairman and ongoing constitutional process by the PDP to ratify anomalies raised in their suits.
He said the aggrieved members had filed a different notice of discontinuance of the suit at the Federal High Court, Abuja, and that the court had officially served all parties.
This, he said, brought an end to the legal challenge over the appointment of Mu’azu.
Nweke, however, said he was not aware of any settlements to his clients by the national chairman of the PDP.
He said: “We are instructed by plaintiff to withdraw the matter and that is what we have done.”
He further said that the legal action taken by their client has prompted the party to do the right thing with regards to the chairmanship of Mu’azu.
“As we pointed out, there is an ongoing process to elect national executive members.
“If the plaintiff had not done that, I doubt if they will do the right thing,” he said. (NAN)

Why are you announcing stuff like this You have simply told the vandals to work harder.

After all the blame, 15 years of PDP remains the gold standard.

You may check my previous posts on this thread for the full details. He posted a pie-chart showing that the bulk of Nigerian roads are the responsibility of states and LGs. He also posted a pie chart showing that 65% of Nigerian roads are in a poor or bad state. Unfortunately, he did not tell us who is responsible for those roads - FG, states or LGs.

Once we know who is responsible for what, the buck-passing will stop. Nigerians deserve to know the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

I don't have any answer at this time where 100% responsibility lies with certainty. Using my state of delta as a study case, then 99% of the failure is local/state.

As you can see that I am always on the defensive as I wont go out of my way to insult or abuse anyone. The wish of every Igbo son or daughter is to leave your hell-hole landlocked enclave and seek golden fleece in other places yet you call some other person miserable. who else do you think being miserable can be used for? are you in your village or somewhere holed up in Lagos seeking for the golden pasture you cant ever make in your enclave.

If you think anyone outside the East has an inferior complex with an Igbo person then you need to have your brain checked and scanned. Inferior complex over the fact that your kinsmen are the richest in Nigeria or are the most educated? Or that it is the luxury of packing yourself in anything movable to escape the poverty and hunger that pervades the length and breath of your region.

go look the mirror and then ask yourself who or what being miserable is all about.

Somebody give this boy a Panadol.

LAGOS—Scores of suspected pipeline vandals were Thursday feared killed in a massive inferno that gutted a petroleum pipeline belonging to Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, at Ijedodo area of Lagos State.
Vanguard gathered that some suspected pipeline vandals, had besieged the pipeline around 6pm and were said to be scooping petroleum product into jerry cans.
It was gathered that an argument ensued among the vandals as they were scooping the PMS, while one of them ignited the fire that caused a massive explosion that set the entire area on fire.
Residents of Ijedodo and Abulado areas who witnessed the massive inferno called on the authorities to expedite actions and put out the fire.
Meanwhile, Vanguard could not confirm the number of casualties as the fire was still raging at the time of fling this report but South West spokesman for National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, Ibrahim Farinloye, in a text massage confirmed the explosion.
Farinloye, who did not disclose the number of casualties said: “There was pipeline explosion at Ijeododo this evening (Thursday). Vandals were suspected to have broken the pipeline, scooping the product and in the process the pipeline exploded.”

The worst roads in Nigeria are the Inter-State roads which is a direct responsibility of the Federal Government. what is the traffic load on streets roads that fall under the Local Government purview. The Intra-State Roads are the best maintained and serviced in the South West and some Part of South South that I used to know. The only areas you will see bad intra-state roads are in the South East, I stand to be corrected though.

the worst nightmare one can have is to be an Igbo.

The previous OP gave you the breakdown of roads in Nigeria and their conditions. Number two, its remarkable, how miserable souls like you turn every issue into a tribal rant. Your level of inferiority complex, is one for the ages.

How you take know sey I come from south east?

That OP has Igbo nightmares. The fact over 70% of Nigerian roads belong to states and local governments, is lost to him.

datolee:
No i didn't derail, you started changing the goal post by talking about performance.

I agree with you, let stick to FG alone... please answer this question

From the yearly budget, who increased the budget the most using year on year bases? What is the difference in the change of year on year budget of the three administrations?

You see, you cannot defend your argument. I never derail, however, i will always answer your detorted fact with actual fact

Keep this in your notes for future reference.

datolee:
Again your line of argument is what i do not understand. What is unusual in the progression of the budget? can we do it by percentage or number? So lets do the difference and see the anomaly

2005 - 2006 = +100 billion

2006 - 2007 = + 400 billion

2007 - 2008 = +1.2 trillion

2008 - 2009 = +200 billion

2009 - 2010 = + 900 billion

2010 - 2011 = (-) 120 billion

2011 - 2012 = +220 billion

2012 - 2013 = +290 billion

Please Barcanista, check these and tell me where the anomaly is

Yaradua increased the budget the most, GEJ was the only governemtn that had decrease in budgeting from the preceding year. Now this is your link, please tell us what you see there that make GEJ this bad

I don't mean to laugh, but please don't dig your own grave...

This is enough to close this thread.

Let's look at 14 years of PDP. The difference is clear.

Ultimately, when the Buhari government could not come up with any viable economic programme, it resorted to the politicization of its economic ignorance by selling the notion that the government was a bulwark against the imperialist Bretton Woods institutions. But that can only take you so far, because while fighting the international community and international financial institutions over differences in policies that could have been resolved with a better and more intelligent engagement with all national and international stakeholders, the austerity measures the regime introduced made it quite impossible for the manufacturing sector to procure raw materials in the face of the international capital market being closed against Nigeria. Industries were closing, left, right and centre and capacity utilization was below 18 percent and at every point, the government was seeking scapegoats for its woes in the form of politicians, illegal aliens, smugglers and currency traffickers, etc. But the reality was there for all to see in workers being retrenched in every sector and even in the public sector. I remember at the time how drastically our lives changed as university students as we dramatically witnessed the rise in the prices of fees, feeding, accommodation and procurement of books, even as the lack of these books became the norm. Inflation hit the roof and essential commodities became scarce. The regime’s key economic policy in response to all this was to resort to the medieval counter-trade economic policy. But this became the new corruption point for the regime presided over by the new import licence czar, Mahmud Tukur. Attempts by some bold journalists to report on the corruption in the counter-trade deals were met with unprecedented brutality. They were picked up and threatened with charges of economic sabotage as a warning to their other colleagues.

The year we are talking about is between 1983 and 1985 which specific Nigerian factory or industry shut down? Am not talking about all those individual importer businesses who imported stuff that we could produce here in Naija. Pls tell me which company cos I have some facts and figures with me.

Also I believe we are better guided with acurate unbiased information sources of these timelines. Thanks

Why don't you just Google and do some of your own research and tell us, by how many percentage points the economy contracted between 1983-1985. Then tell us why. You can post whatever information you find from your accurate unbiased information sources of these timelines.

Well probably any international news media like the bbc, afterall if the international comunity frowned against some moves by GMB and tried to intervene it would definately be documented.

Also am wondering is stoping unnecessary importation in a country which has resources for self reliance really a bad thing 4 a govt.to do? I actually was amongst those who praised GEJ for trying to somehow achieve this only to see people condemn GMB for doing same in the past and making its effect seem so destructive.

That brought Nigeria's industries to a standstill. The thousands laid off by factories felt otherwise back then. That was the beginning of Nigeria's deindustrialization.

wirinet:
I usually hate arguing with paid to post agents but they seem to be misleading the nigerian youth who were either not born during the Buhari era or too young to know what went down.

Yes General Buhari made mistakes during his rule, he was authoritarian, he denied press freedom, he applied a law retroactively and more. but his legacies can never be forgotten. We the older generation that lived through the era remember him actually paying up our debts. He had a schedule of paying off the debts completely in a few years and actually paid about $4 billion before he was overthrown by IBB. Forget the figures PDP-TAN controlled DMO is spewing out ahead of 2015 general elections, if you want to get the actual debt profile and economic performance of the period, get newspaper clipping from 1983 - 1985, or get information from foreign media.

Please provide any proof Buhari paid $5B of Nigerian's debt. Also list his legacies you want us to remember. I was alive then, just like you. Now tell me something I don't know.

Tell the young people on the forum, how much the debt was in 1983 Dec and how much it became in 1985 Dec.

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar said in Abuja Thursday that the northern part of the country has the highest rate of illiteracy rate in the country with 70 percent of its people uneducated.
Atiku, who spoke at a public presentation of a book “Re-thinking the Legal Framework for Rights of Women and Girl-Child in Nigeria,” in honour of His wife, Amina Titi Atiku Abubakar, also said that 38 percent of women in Nigeria lack formal education while only four percent of them have higher education.
The All Progressives Congress presidential candidate explained that 10 million Nigerian children are currently out of school with women constituting 60 percent of them, saying about 22 percent of teenage girls in Nigeria have at least one unwanted pregnancy.
Atiku who spoke on the title “Protecting the Rights of Nigerian a Women and the Girl Child Amidst Insecurity,” said the development is more prevalent in the north than in the southern part of the country.
He said, “There is no doubt that the rights of women and girls need to be protected and promoted. As a country, we are currently not doing enough in that regard, not in educating them, not in promoting and caring for their health and not in dealing with crimes against them such as rape and several others.
“WOTCLEF believes that every child has a right to life, to education, to leisure, to recreational activities and to develop mentally and emotionally, and to protection from any form of harm.
“Perhaps no greater harm can be done to a girl-child than denying her an education. And it is also a great harm to the society. Educating girls is vital because girls who acquire education tend to become better mothers, have fewer and healthier children.
“Indeed, as UNICEF points out, every additional year of schooling reduces the probability of child mortality by five to ten percent. And if you look around your various communities you are likely to find that children whose mothers are educated tend to be educated themselves.
“Figures from the United Nations, national reports and studies initiated by non-governmental organizations always show that girls, as a group, have lower literacy rates, received less health care, and are often more impoverished than boys. The UNESCO estimates that over 100 million girls in low and middle income countries cannot read a sentence.”
